(ii) Solving Ratio Problems: Using Cross Multiplication
(iii) Solving Ratio Problems : Part to Part and Part to Whole Ratios
(iv) Scale Drawings
Similar Triangles
(i) Naming and using the corresponding sides and angles in similar triangles
(ii) Calculation of unknown sides and angles using similar triangles (remember: if two triangles are similar, then they have the same angles AND their sides are 'proportional' the sides are 'proportional' means that you can multiply the sides by a single number to get the sides of the other triangle - this single number is called the scale factor )
